1 Introduction to the course
2Risk assessment tools: definining hazard, exposure, vulnerability and risk in the context of seismic risk
3 Risk assessment tools: scenarios versus PRA modelling
4 Case studies: Kobe earthquake, Boumedere (Algeria), Izmit (Turkey)
5Multirisk perspective: multihazard and multirisk. A map of hotspots by the World Bank
6Long term risk mitigation measures (non structural): land use planning in the context of megacities and remote areas
7Reconstruction following disasters: linking rehabilitation to development. Experiences from the EU Community Mechanism
8 Short term mitigation measures: contingency planning and crisis managment
9 Short term mitigation measures: increasing the coping capacity of communities
10Tools for risk mitigation measures implementation. Differencies between developed and developing countires
Idea of the course: provide the basic concepts of risk analysis, risk assessment, risk mitigation and prevention in an international context and as a development issue

Disaster risk is lower in high development countries than in low development countries.
Development processes intervene in the translation of physical exposure to hazards into disaster risk
Earthquakes: countries with rapid urban growthTropical cyclones: countries with large rural populations and a low rank on the Human Development Index (HDI). Floods: countries with low GDP per capita and low local population densities
Urban areas and megacities at risk
Developed countries
Developing countriesFig. 3. Percentage of the number of disasters registered from 1900until 1999 by regions of the world (Source: EM-DAT database).
Why the increasing trends?Why the increasing trends?
• More people and more complex societies– Great concentrations of people in
urban areas• More structure – much of its aging
– Particularly in urban areas• Choices – where to live, work, play and travel
– Urbanization of societies – most along coasts and rivers• Human intervention in the environment
– Emission of pollutants and greenhouse gases
It is estimated that natural disaster losses will increase dramatically over the next 50 years. The global cost of natural disasters is anticipated to top $300 billion annually by 2050 (UNISDR 2001). Two broad demographic trends directly impact the increasing losses from natural hazards in the developing world: population growth and the concentration of populations in megacities.

Comparison between death toll and economic losses worldwide
We may go on with data and statistics, but let’s stop here and point out that:
* Natural hazards have always been a major issue (when disaster stroke) and still are, though with a slight change in the relative proportion of death toll and economic losses;
* Victims and losses are unevenly distributed in the developed and developing world;
* There are other causes besides events’ severity to explain victims and losses (exposure and vulnerability)
You cannot reach sustainability without risk prevention. Why?
Without prevention you put at risk present and future generations
Costs of repair (and human and economic harm) is unduly paid by large sectors of society, particularly in developing countries
Many times unsustainable practices also increase risk
SAFETY RISK
SAFETY RISK
A definition of safety:
A dynamic ‘non-event’
(Karl Weick)
What kind of risks?
Connected to events for which a clear impact zone and time of occurrence can be identified
What risk is all about?
1. It is about assigning
probabilities to events
2. About comparing
negativities
3. About establishing
thresholds
Problems:1. Not enough historical data2. Enough historical data but not enough knowledge regarding the phenomena3. Subjective rather than objective probabilities
Assigning probabilities to events
Problems:1. Subjective probabilities are influenced by experience2. Social perception is the issue 3. Public versus private risks
Comparing negativities
Problems:1. What are the criteria?2. How criteria are related to the way risks are measured? 3. Who decides?

1. Because acceptable thresholds can’t be derived from probabilities;
2. Because risks are context-related;
3. Because you can’t separate social, political, economic and technical issues properly
1. You can’t rely on one discipline only;
2. You need both analytical and synthetic views of problems
it is a matter of “Mandated science”(L. Salter, 1988)

poorly (mainly for the hazard) quantitative* Poorly context related * Context sensitive

RISK = HAZARD * VULNERABILITY (Exposed systems)
RISK measured in terms of expected damage
HAZARD = characteristics of the dangerous agent (phenomena)
VULNERABILITY= propensity to damage, fragility
(Exposed systems)= number and dimension of people and goods in a dangerous area
Brief definition
In developing countries….
More EXPOSURE
More VULNERABILITY
More HAZARD
RISK measured in terms of expected damage
Furthermore, multiple threats are not so uncommon, unfortunately many times in megacities in developing countries
While the vulnerability of small states, particularly islands should not be disregarded (lack of resources)

rural to urban (development)
Transform land uses urban to urban (restoration, redevelopment)
urban to rural
Planners do different things in Europe dealing with spatial planning; summarizing and comprising different schools of thought and practice:
rural to rural
Preserve land uses urban to urban
Land use planning must be considered in a wider context
Wider context of development and redevelopment (so in developing countries specific factors pertaining for example to illegal/self construction and financial constraints must be considered)
Wider context of sustainibility (how development and land use planning may support environmentally sustainible practices and compatible with ecosystems)
Is risk prevention part of sustainibility?
land use planning in hazardous areas
Land use planning in hazardous areas
include as a crucial objective risk prevention (in order to maintain the same assets needed for people’s life, social and economic future)
as part of ordinary activities
should the community consider this essential (community? other actors?)
the “tragic choices” dilemma
prevention is neither economically (discount rate) nor politically convenient
land use planning in hazardous areas
Where: hazards, exposure and vulnerabilities are high
How? Depend on risk assessment for planning purposes
Densities and concentration of: hazards, exposure and vulnerabilities
